INDIAN LAKE — The conversation was laden with warm welcome and offers of support as officers of the Indian Lake Community Development Corporation (ILCDC) paid a visit to Amber Hutchins at her new business, Just Like Home Daycare.

Along with the offers of help and support, the ILCDC came bearing “home warming gifts” for the little ones.

Among them were a high chair and walker presented by President Brenda Valentine and Secretary Marti Evanoff.

Hutchins also received several Target gift cards to help with the purchase of other needs for the daycare center.

“Please know that we are here for you,” Valentine said. “We have many members with vast and varied experience and please call on us for help and advice in growing your business. We would be very interested in helping you with community and public relations to get the word out about your daycare services.”

Hutchins is certified to care for infants through pre-school age children.

“We are a great alternative for parents who are currently bringing their children to work or leaving them with non-certified care takers,” said Hutchins, who thanked the ILCDC for their efforts.

Just Like Home Daycare is located at 6213 Route 30 in Indian Lake. For more information, call Amber Hutchins at 648-6210 or 648-5495, or email bramer82@yahoo.com.
